NASHVILLE TRNN., March H.
Senate Mr.. Nancy read paper pre-
parsd by him embracing HE objections
the time and the day for the peope t.
vote upon the proposed constitutional
amendment providing for prohibition.
The objections contained in the paper
were pronounced in Mr.. Msney's
speech against the submission bill,
with the additional explanation that
he voted for that bill on its 6nal read
ing because it presented tbs ouly
chance that he would have to carry
cut his party platform expressions and
pledges to his people that he would
give them IA opportunity to vote on
the amendment.
Mr.. Mcdowell objsc'ed to having
the protest sprsad upon the Journal,
because it was more OF a criticism OF
the action u the Senate than protest
agailst that sciion. He obi ,cted tn
encumbering the journal with criti
ciem. The particular language he ob
jected 10 was this: May not the sdvo-
escy and owe zeal OF some Of the pro-
fesaed advocai 5e OF this mea ,ursd be
hkened unto the fanaiiciem Il the
Hindoo mother" etc. TniB YVES not a
protest, but a criticism OF the gentle
mans brother Senators.
Mr.. Thompson taid the gentleman
had tue right TO have his protet en-
tered ON the journal in any way he
pleases II he uses no vulgar language.
III che protest ieh 9cts on any Senator
personally there are other means for
remedy at his command. II any Sem
ai0r in his protest should reflect
against him he would hold him per.
sonally responsible for 1t. But there
was no denying the fact that the con-
stitution gave every Senstor the right
10 have his protest spread on the
journal. The protest was ordered TO
be spread ON the journal.
Under the rule TO allow each SEN
ator to call up one local bill on third
reading, Mr.. Lyle called up the bill in
relation to amending the charter of
Ripley, and moved reconsideration
of the action of the Senate In passing
that measure.
M. Mcdowell said the object Of the
measure was TO enable the Mayor and
Aldermen to adopt means to rid the
inhabitants OF the town from sur
plus OF hogs, and read letter from
Congressman Glars, in which he states
that some Of the cit z MS OF Ripley
rsise from 100 to 160 hogs each season.
These hogs, Mr.. Glass states, are al
lowed to run at large, and have de-
stroyed all the gardens and flower
beds 10 the town.
Mr.. Williamson desired to know II
the petition for the amendment sought
came from Jew or GENTLE. Mr.. Nc
Dowell said he didn't know, bat Mr..
Glass was aptist.
Mr. Lyle said the people OF Ripley
had the right in this free country to
ralss hogs,
Mr.. Sparks said the people Of Ripley
had the right In this fres country to
raiss hogs.
Mr.. Sparks inquired what the popu-
Iation OF the town was, exclusive OF
Shs hog'7
Mr.. McDowell-About 1000, men,
women aud children.
